用法筆記

The term 'slip road' is standard in British English for both entrance and exit connectors at motorway junctions. The American English equivalent is 'ramp' (entrance ramp / exit ramp). In everyday UK driving contexts, a slip road is the short section where you adjust your speed before joining or after leaving the main carriageway.
